What lightning protection to use for solar container station BESS

4 FAQs about What lightning protection to use for solar container station BESS

How do you protect a Bess container from voltage spikes?

Surge protection: Incorporate surge protection devices (SPDs) to protect the BESS container's components from voltage spikes and transient over-voltages. SPDs should be installed at key points, such as the main power distribution panel, inverter inputs, and other sensitive equipment.

Do I need an external lightning protection system?

Therefore the need for optimized and reliable electrical protection against the influence of lightning and surge events becomes mandatory. A risk assessment per IEC 62305-2 should first be performed to understand better if an external lightning protection system (LPS) is required.

Why is lightning protection important for energy storage systems?

Lightning protection for Energy Storage Systems is not only a safety issue, but a strategic investment to ensure long-term functionality, sustainability and efficiency. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are a key technology in the transition towards a more sustainable energy model.

What is a lightning protection system?

A lightning protection system not only protects the solar PV system but also provides reliable protection to your entire property and assets while safely diverting transient currents to the ground.

Protection Against Surges and Overvoltages In BESS

For these reasons, it is important for engineers to perform a risk assessment of the BESS (as outlined in the IEC 62305-2 standard) to determine the type of surge protection devices (SPD)
